Project Phoenix — ARE Florida Phosphogypsum Recovery
Florida Industrial Phosphogypsum Recovery
Project Phoenix targets industrial phosphogypsum resources in Florida. The project has assayed Phosphogypsum stacks and is advancing through feed characterization, subsystem validation, environmental impact studies, and product qualification using the Patriot One Plasma™ platform.
Florida Phosphogypsum Working Basis
The following figures represent the current planning basis only. Actual throughput, recovery, and product specifications will be established through representative feed characterization and validation.
Feedstock
Industrial phosphogypsum
Florida phosphate industry byproduct
Geography
Florida, United States
Industrial phosphogypsum resources
Development Stage
Feed characterization
Subsystem validation advancing in parallel
ARE has established a public technical basis using Florida phosphogypsum working reference values. Each resource will be independently sampled and assayed against the ARE element suite. Feed-specific recovery, product purity, impurity profile, deliverable volume, annual quantity, payability, and pricing will be established through representative characterization, process validation, and product qualification.
Florida TENORM Reference Values
Working reference values only. Actual radiological constituent concentrations will be established through representative sampling and analysis.
Radiological Constituent Suite
Florida phosphogypsum contains naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM), primarily from the uranium-238 and thorium-232 decay series. ARE has established working reference values for the TENORM constituent suite based on public technical literature.
Separately Controlled Pathway
The TENORM/source-material-bearing stream follows a separately controlled U.S. pathway. ARE has established the classification, packaging, import, receipt, treatment, recovery, storage, and disposition pathway with licensed counterparties.
640,000 U.S. Short Tons Per Year
Two nominal 40-U.S.-short-ton-per-hour lines. Products and performance remain subject to representative feed, testing, regulatory approvals, and customer qualification.
Processing Lines
Two nominal lines
40 U.S. short tons/hr each
Annual Campaign Basis
640,000 short tons/yr
≈ 580,600 metric tonnes/yr

Each resource independently sampled & assayed
These figures are reference planning assumptions, not final design or operating capacity. Actual throughput, recovery, and product specifications will be established through representative feed characterization, subsystem validation, integrated testing, and product qualification.
Secure Core, Distributed Infrastructure
REE-Bearing Product Pathway
The rare-earth-bearing product follows authorized U.S. pathways. Product form, purity, impurity profile, and qualification status will be established through representative characterization, process validation, and customer qualification.
Separately Controlled Radiological Stream
The TENORM/source-material-bearing stream follows a separately controlled U.S. pathway. ARE has established the classification, packaging, import, receipt, treatment, recovery, storage, and disposition pathway for licensed counterparties.
Lower-Risk Mineral Fraction Return
The prospective lower-risk mineral fraction subject to analytical and regulatory qualification returns to the host only after project-specific qualification. This supports liability reduction for the U.S. industrial host.
Secure ARE-Controlled Processing Core
Authorized U.S. personnel control the protected processing core and strategic outputs as well as the external feedstock preparation, utilities, site, and operations.
